Discount Store Dressing Room Social Advice.

Right on.

Sadness.

Today I found out my old dog, Shaka, has a massive tumor in his abdomen. This tumor, the vet claims, is most likely cancerous and has numerous pockets of blood throughout. It hasn't quite hit his lungs yet, but it's already crushing his spleen.

Needless to say, my dog is dying.


In fact, he is being put to sleep tomorrow at noon before this tumor either ruptures or suffocates him by crushing his lungs.

Shaka is almost 15 years old and i am so thankful I got to spend so much time with him. Unfortunately, this fortune doesn't help the pain of knowing my dog will no longer greet me with a wagging tail when I go to my parents' house for lunch or bark at my car until he realizes it's just me.


My heart is literally breaking.




I love you Shaka. I already miss you.

I wonder how badly Obama is sweating right now while he gives his speech. 

Think of me.... think of me fondly...

Why, Hello There. 

After going through Eight Months of an awful computer withdrawal (due to my hard drive crashing), I am finally up and running again. 

What better way to celebrate than with a new blog?!

What I hope to accomplish by blogging:

1.  If you are like me, then you spend most of the work day thinking, "Man... I wish I had something to distract me from this annoying white-noise machine.." 

I hope that my quips and musings about the world around me can offer you a moment's peace from the static most of us have to deal with day in and day out.

2. I need an outlet for the things I find hilarious about my job, family, and life in general and isn't Facebook. 

So, without further ado... 

A cookie's just a cookie......
